Who is this site for?

This website is for members of the military, veterans, their families and advocates. Our goal is to help you:

access benefits

find free legal help, and

better understand your legal issues

Many websites provide information for military households or veterans. Here our goal is to index the best legal information available in one easy-to-use site. We have also added our own interactive forms, videos, and legal analysis. We try to deliver answers to your questions using Plain English. More about our content and website features.

How are we doing? Please help us improve our site by using the feedback form.

What about local help that I'm not finding here?

This is a national website focusing initially on federal programs. Many laws vary from state to state. We hope to expand our state-specific information as time goes on. If you are aware of resources in your State that should be included in this site, please let us know.
